Chapter 1040 Poisoned


    After leaving the ship, Lizbeth, Walter, and the rest left alongside all the other tourists.


    “Jared, aren’t your friends joining us?” Skr asked in surprise when he saw Lizbeth and Walter


    leaving.

    “No, they’ll just end up being a burden.” Jared smiled inly.


    Reading between the lines, Skr cracked a grin. “In that case, let’s go.”


    With Skr and Karl walking in front and Jared following behind, the three of them set off for the depths


    of the ind.


    Taking out a geomanticpass, Karl began chanting.


    Suddenly, hispass flew into the air and unleashed a faint red hue.


    After spinning a few rounds, it began flying in the south-easterly direction.


    “Quick, follow it.”


    Barking out his instructions, Karl sprinted after thepass, with Skr and Jared following closely


    behind.


    After running for half an hour, thepass finally stopped and flew back into Karl’s hand.


    “It’s here!” Karl dered as he scanned the surroundings.


    “What in the world are you looking for?” Jared asked curiously.


    With a narrowed gaze, Skr replied, “We’re looking for the me Dragon. After you swallowed the


    Ice Dragon’s draconic essence, the ind went through dramatic change, including the disappearance


    of the me Dragon. Therefore, we are now looking for it so that we can obtain its draconic essence.”


    “Don’t tell me that you’re expecting me to fight the me Dragon? The Norton family has plenty of


    warriors who are stronger than I am,” Jared asked with a puzzled tone.


    Given that the Norton family had many powerful warriors, they didn’t need Jared’s help to fight the


    me Dragon. In fact, the hunched-back old man, who followed Skr around, was a Top Level


    Martial Arts Grandmaster and stronger than Jared. As a result, Jared was cognizant that he was


    definitely not there forbat.


    “Of course not. We don’t need you to fight it. However, the blood that courses through your veins can


    lure the me Dragon out of its hiding ce.” Skr’s eyes glistened with murderous intent.


    At that moment, Jared finally understood why Skr invited him to Dragon Ind. It turns out that he


    was supposed to be the bait to lure the me Dragon out.


    “Do you think that just the two of you can stop me?” Jared’s aura began to swell within him.


    “Hahaha, that’s not up to you to decide!” After breaking out in heartyughter, Skr looked in Karl’s


    direction. “Do it!”


    Karl nodded before his lips started to move as if he was mumbling something.


    In the meantime, Jared gave him a baffled look, as he had no idea what Karl was up to.


    All of a sudden, Lizbeth, who happened to be more than ten miles away, let out an agonizing scream


    when she felt a splitting pain in her head. Subsequently, she copsed onto the ground and lost


    consciousness.


    After chanting a curse for more than ten minutes, Karl was shocked to see Jared still standing and not


    reacting at all.


    “Are you trying to nag me to death?” Jared taunted.


    “What’s going on?” Skr asked Karl with his brows furrowed.


    Karl had obviously spiked Jared and Lizbeth’s drink. But now, Jared wasn’t affected by it at all.


    “I don’t know. I’m certain that I had poisoned them.”


    Karl was baffled as to why Jared wasn’t reacting to his poison.


    The moment he heard what Karl had done to him, Jared’s expression drastically changed. “Who else


    did you poison?”


    With the Focus Technique shielding him, Jared was immune to all poisons. However, the same couldn’t


    be said for others. If Lizbeth and the others were poisoned, their life would certainly be in danger.


    “Thedy you were drinking with, as I spiked the wine both of you drank. Perhaps, the poison in her is


    already reacting right now. Therefore, if you obey whatever I say, I’ll give you the antidoteter. By then
